Tata Consultancy Services Expands its Presence in Mexico With the Global Delivery Center Opening in Queretaro.

I know that this has been going on for a while but I still don’t get it.  Indian outsourcer opens an service delivery branch in Mexico - US companies now can outsource to India, only to have them outsource to Mexico.  So I have a project manager in India and I have to work around the time zone, travel, and cultural issues there but the work is really being done in the same time zone as me, only 3 hours away by plane.  TATA has to make money so I pay an uplift there and then I have to suffer the miscommunication inherent in the telephone game that has become my project (I tell TATA, they tell the developers, the developers respond to TATA, they respond to me - all with a 12-hour time lag).  Why am I not just working with Mexico directly?  Help me out people.
